Three California paintings at my parents’ booth at Tefaf New York — on view now, through Tuesday. •
•
Upper left: Hill Hotels (oil and acrylic on canvas, 1993-1997) by Wayne Thiebaud. •
•
Lower left: “Girl with a Cup” (oil on canvas, 1960) by Richard Diebenkorn. •
•
Right: “Various Cakes” (oil on canvas, 1981) by Wayne Thiebaud.
Richard Diebenkorn’s “figure paintings, many featuring women sitting or standing within domestic interiors or exteriors, are at once mute and intimate, meditative as if capturing a moment in time in stereoscopic colour,” wrote Sarah C. Bancroft, curator of “Richard Diebenkorn” at the Royal Academy of Arts, London, in 2015. “The figures are rarely discernible as individuals, rather they are general players within the scene, a human presence that is but one part of the structure and interplay of the total composition; for this reason, their faces are often obscured or lack the definition of a true portrait. They are not lonely or positioned on the edge of mental desolation or disconnection, rather they serve as energetic components within a balanced whole.”
.
This balanced whole is partially achieved by the artist’s division of the composition into three main sections, a technique he frequently used in both his abstract and figurative works of the time. See today’s earlier post for an abstract example of this tripartite division.

Ok, I lied. There were some things I needed to tweak. It’s due now. I can no longer touch it. So this is the final product.
Painting a self portrait is so frustrating. It’s like looking at a single word for too long— suddenly you question if it’s even a real word.
I took this pic in a different light at a different part of the school So idk, man.

My final for my oil figure painting class self portrait.
This semester was definitely frustrating, and not quite over yet—but just like after every semester, I’m just a step forward in the right direction.
